Final Fantasy XIV patch 6.1 Newfound Adventure brings us two new items to gather. Have you found them yet?

A new patch (6.1) for FFXIV Endwalker released this Tuesday. There are two new items to gather, Thavnarian Corn and Raw Eblan Danburite. These go into the new crafting and gathering gear, so they'll be worth some gil for a while. Go get them while they're hot!

Here they are in a MasterDotL list for quick reference.

New legendary nodes, new ephemeral nodes, and new white and purple scrip lists. Get to gathering!

Well, I've finally got my Botanist and Miner up to level 90 in Endwalker. I've also unlocked all the legendary nodes (a full 9,600 white scrips later!) the grind is over. Now we grind for gil! 

First, you'll probably want to grind white scrips, these are used to buy the books that unlock the legendary nodes, but they also provide massive XP. Best way to get to 90!

Once you've done that you can go for purple scrips to buy the new grade IX and X materias or some gear (and probably more once patch 6.05 drops with the new recipies). Or you could just start gathering new crafting materials from the legendary nodes.

The ephemeral nodes page has been updated too, though it does seem to be short 2 elements and time spans. Again, I'm guessing that this will be updated on January 4th with patch 6.05. Run this list to get tons of crystals and clusters plus the new Aethersands that will likely be in high demand with the new recipies.

Coming to the Final Fantasy XIV world Fall 2021!

Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker. Is this the end? In case you didn’t know, Final Fantasy XI, the first MMO from Square Enix just celebrated 19 years online. So I don’t think FFXIV is going anywhere anytime soon. Here’s the full 6 minute trailer for Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker.

Here's the new nodes for patch 5.4 plus an ephemeral node update

Patch 5.4 Futures Rewritten for Final Fantasy XIV has been released. There are some new items to gather and a re-work of collectable gathering.

In addition to the new items, there was also some major changes to the way collectable items are harvested, vist the ephemeral nodes page for full details and update locations for the nodes.

August 11 has been a long time coming.

We've been stuck on the current patch of FFXIV for 5 months now (thanks, covid). Finally some more news about 5.3 is out and we have an official release date of August 11. 

Patch 5.3, titled Reflections in Crystal, is scheduled to release on August 11th and is the ideal opportunity for new players to dive into FINAL FANTASY XIV Online. Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida announced that alongside the streamlining of the main questline of the original game, A Realm Reborn™, players new to FINAL FANTASY XIV Online can enjoy an expanded free trial experience which will include all content from A Realm Reborn and the Heavensward™ expansion—including the entire Patch 3.x series—up to level 60. The freely playable content represents hundreds of hours of award-winning gameplay and story experiences and comes with no limit on playtime.

Additionally, all existing and future A Realm Reborn players will also have access to the complete Heavensward expansion and all the benefits it includes.

Patch 5.3 also features many trials and challenges for veteran players to enjoy, including the finale of the Shadowbringers™ storyline, the next chapter in the NieR-inspired YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse alliance raid series, and more.

Further details on content planned to launch in the Patch 5.3 series is outlined below:

What’s going on with Gouki.com? Final Fantasy XIV Stormblood is, that’s what’s up. Here’s my review…

I love it.  I’ve been playing it non-stop since the release.  The game is a lot of fun, I highly recommend you giving it a shot.  You can play up to level 35 for free now.  If you do choose to give it a try make sure you get in the Primal servers and join the Malboro world.  That’s where I am, with Sugar Ninja and Bat Rastered.  Come join our Free Company -AKA A Guild- Kefka.
